Hi,
I bought the S2 when I was using my galaxy S4. I just upgraded to th S6 edge.
I had a ton of purchased watch faces that are now gone since I had to reset the watch to sync with the S6edge.
is there any way to get those back?
Thanks

I got a new Gear 2 Watch for Christmas. No matter what I try I can not get the gear manager on my phone, (which makes the gear 2 worthless)
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Straight talk Verizon towers ) with 4.1.2 which I "think" is the problem. Some place in all my internet searching I saw that I need 4.3 for the Gear 2.
Is there a solution to this that a non geek user can apply? Or should I just return the watch ?

Try downloading the Galaxy Essential Apps from this link and installing the Gear Manager app. Don't know if will work in your S3 but since I don't see any response to your post so I decided to give it a shot. Let me know what's the outcome. If it does not work then you will have to upgrade to the S4 at least. There is also a Gear Manager for non-samsung phones that could work with your phone as well.

You need to upgrade your ROM to kitkat.
Can't be done
I took the watch and phone to the geek squad . The Samsung lady was there. She said this is an easy fix, downloaded a couple files, diddled with the phone for awhile, :fingers-crossed: kept getting my hopes up.
then informed me since it's a straight talk phone, they have limited the up grades on it and the phone, it is as updated as it can be updated. It has Jellybean 4.1.2 and will never/ can never go any higher then that. :cyclops:
my much desired smart watch will never, can never be used together, :crying: and since I've only had the phone 9 months I have no intention of retiring it any time soon......:crying: so the watch was returned, the samsung lady said no watch is pair-able with it
Thanks for your help though
I don't know if it's posted but if not this video helped me connect both my gear watches to my phone.

Yeah thanks I'm sure some might use. However the downfall for this with the gear s Is you are severely limited. At this point why own the gear s? You might be better off getting the gear s2 at this point. That or just get another cheaper smart watch that doesn't have 3g s2 capabilities.
There is a forum on the gear s part that they have been able to get it dang near fully functional but I and a few others haven't gotten it to work on the v10. It sucks as I prefer the gear s but if I can't get it fully functional with the v10 I might just try out the s2

I did just this,switched from the Gear S to the Gear S2.
As you,I actually liked the Gear S,but,I'm glad I made the switch,works well w/the V10.
My preference is the square/rectangle form factor,but,the S2 has quickly grown on me.They finally got the watchband right,flows right in w/the body of the watch & the clasp isn't clunky when doing desktop work.
I still have the Gear2,which is still my favorite watch by far & holding out hope that someone can get it to work w/Marshmallow.

I got it to work with my gear 1. Gear manage, pictures, everything just like if I had a samsung phone. Cannot get it to pair with my neo 2 though.

Damn.. Ok. I was hoping you got it to work with nf1 or oa2. I can't stand the black background and not being able to install watch faces.

How do I get a face watch on my Gear Fit 2 watch? I have an LG V10 phone and I have the Samsung Gear app. I purchased a face watch from Google, and now I need to get it on my watch. How do I do that? Any suggestions?
Went to Tmobile and made the jump from the Gear S2 to the Gear S3. Was gonna wait as some people were stating its not much of an upgrade but I like the new look and band.
Now a convert to a smartwatch user. My Frontier is the bees knees. Just wondering how many Classics they have sold over the Frontier?
I had the S2 3G and got rid of it due to how "dainty" it is. I wear a Panerai daily so the S2 was too small. I love this S3. Just wish they would have done a 24mm band. I have tons of those.

I also had the S2 but never truly enjoyed it (too small). The S3 is great.
I have been able to use an exact o knife and trim down a couple 24mm leather bands and they fit the 22mm lugs pretty perfectly.
:good:
Nice watch face, may I know where you get it? Thanks

Very nice. I think the Frontier version is better than the Classic version due to the LTE connectivity.

Please share how we all can install this besutiful watch face. Thanks in advance.
You can get the watch face from an app called Watchland
Yeah, I grabbed that watch face this morning too. Can't use the app on the watch, but download the app on your phone, download the face, got to your download folder, and the .gwd file is there. Needs to be loaded via Gear Watch Designer, where you can add links to apps, steps, battery, etc.
I was able to use the companion watch ap just fine and it loads perfect
Sorry ... which app????

Yeah, which app? For the S3? It doesn't show up in search in Galaxy Apps, and the app it takes you to from the help page did no longer available or not supported device.

looks like it can't be loaded in us
Thanks. I see the apk, but don't know how to get that to the watch.looks like just the phone app.
Instructions for getting it on the watch from the webpage don't work for me. Under "Free", I see Watchmaster and Mr Time Maker, but no Watchland. Help?
May be it is watch designer FOR WINDOWS ???? to be used on PC

I plan on making my own watch face soon using the developer tools
http://developer.samsung.com/gear/design/watch-designer
Yeah, I've made a bunch of faces using Gear Watch Designer, and downloaded watch face files and installed them using the PC program. (See my thread on faces I've made in the Themes/Apps/Mods section). We were just hoping to have a way to do it directly from the phone.

I saw a display version and read some reviews. Fell in love with the watch. I have the Gear2 and the GearS and now the Gear S3. I really love this device. I had to open an account with T-Mobile in order to get the watch. Now I am going to move all my equipment from VZW over to TM.
I'm trying to decide between getting the Gear S3 and the Hauwei Watch 2, but I'm struggling to come to a decision.
I have an LG G6 phone, so I suppose that an Android Wear watch would be more suitable as far as software integration goes. The battery life is OK on the HW2, but it's not quite as good as the Gear S3 and the build quality on the S3 looks better.
I'm just wondering if I'd be making the right choice if I buy the S3 with me having a non Samsung phone. I'd love to get some feedback from any forum members that are using an S3 with a non-Samsung phone, how are you getting on with it?
I used mine with a Moto G4 and had no problems at all. I now have an Honor 8 and it works perfectly with it also. It actually improved the Moto because the Moto didn't have NFC so I couldn't use any pay apps. Once I synced the S3, the Moto could then get the Samsung Pay app. Of course I could still only pay with the watch. I also synced the S3 with an old Moro E and all functions worked. I never really used the E, I just wanted to see if the old backup phone worked if I needed it.

I have recently switched my Nokia 8 for the LG G6.
The Nokia 8 would not reconnect to bluetooth after moving out then back into range whereas the G6 has no such issue and works seamlessly with my S3.

The only issues you will have is full access to emails and text messages. I switch to the LG Watch sport. Found a new one for $240.
Thanks all, I bit the bullet today and I have ordered the Gear S3. Roll on Christmas day!

Just curious, but what type of full access for text messages are you referring to?
Running my S3 with my LG G5. Works great
I'm using a oneplus 3 and I have full access to texts and emails just fine and Samsung pay works flawlessly.

You cannot start a text from the watch. You can view and reply to a new one but not see a conversation and start a new text. You can view a new email but not clear the notification on the phone or reply to it from the wsatch.

I just bought Galaxy Z Flip 3 and despite all my efforts I can't pair my Gear 2 ;(( The mobile can see it but just won't connect. Anyone got a cracked version of Samsung wereable or any workaround this problem? I really don't want to change to new smartwatch because Gear 2 is much superior with its videocamera all other smartwatches are basically the same crap in different cover..
So nobody willing to help,?
